Respecting findings that might indicate a more extensive search for microinvasion be undertaken in cases of pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a recent study found 1) intermediate or high DCIS grade, 2) tumor thickness, and 3) diffuse peritumoral retraction clefts, but not such things as lymph node metastases, or HER2 score, independently increased the likelihood of finding a microinvasive component. <ref name=pmid28434924>{{cite journal |author=Mori K, Takeda M, Kodama Y, Kiyokawa H, Yasojima H, Mizutani M, Otani Y, Morikawa N, Masuda N, Mano M|title= Tumor thickness and histological features as predictors of invasive foci within preoperatively diagnosed ductal carcinoma in situ |journal=Human Pathology |volume=64 |issue= |pages=145-155 |year=2017 | pmid=28434924 |doi=10.1016/j.humpath.2017.04.004 }}</ref> | |||
